Class of 2016

After earning my Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics at Northwestern University in the USA, I started my career as a graduate analyst at Deutsche Bank in Hong Kong. During this experience, I was exposed to various parts of the bank, from its operations to business management as well as sales and relationship management.

Currently, I am working as a securities lending trader for our Agency Securities Lending department where my responsibilities are to lend Asian equities to prime brokerages at other financial institutions in this time zone on behalf of our long-only clients, which tend to be financial institutions like sovereign wealth funds, pensions, central banks, insurances etc.

As I progress further into my career, I find myself looking for advancement opportunities in leadership and management which the part-time HKU MBA programme provides for. It also offers insight into other industries via direct interaction with students and professors in completely unrelated fields which has opened my mind to new ways of thinking, all the while being fully understanding of the rigorous demands of a day-to-day full time job.
